Good Afternoon,
With my education and training I have many, many strategies and am always working on adaptations and work arounds.
My processing speed and vision are huge issues. I have not driven in over a year (saying I miss my independence does not even come close to describing the loss). Sound plagues me too. Public places are very challenging still.
On May 21st it will be 18 months. I have kept that in my mind for a long time hoping I would be healed by then and worried if I was not.
I will get full details on Sat. and am hoping it's not as bad as I am worried about.
Thanks for the support and responding.
Peace and healing,
Jace
